I don't know about any of you, but I am constantly looking for meaningful gifts that don't break my budget but at the same time, aren't "junky" gifts. When I came across this great gift idea, I just knew I needed to share it with all of you. Flowers are nice and so are chocolates and while they are beautiful, they are also short-lived tokens of love. Your loved ones deserve better; something more permanent to remind them of your love and well wishes. Sunrise, Sunset: 52 Weeks of Awe & Gratitude makes the kind of gift that remains a keepsake that can be looked at all year round to uplift your loved ones.
Sunrise, Sunset: 52 Weeks of Awe & Gratitude is a book like no other I've seen. It's a little book packed full of powerful messages and stunning photographs that's perfect for a bedside nightstand, yet small enough to carry with you. Sunrise, Sunset: 52 Weeks of Awe & Gratitude is well supplied with glorious photographs of different days and different suns captured from the very same vantage point, the very same terrace. This is the ultimate gift book for saying 'thank you', sharing a blessing or offering an oasis for spiritual awakening. From sunrise to sunset, this will be a perennial source of inspiration.
Beautiful sunrises and sunsets have the capacity to lift our spirits and inspire us. Each one brings a reminder of beauty and hope and shining possibilities for joy in the moment. The same vista. Never the same sun. Much like life, the stage changes even when our vantage point doesn't. And so it is with the rising and setting sun, no two are ever the same. Each picture tells another color, shape and shadow story . . . whatever unfolds each day reveals the diversity and beauty of life. Birds, insects, reptiles, trees, sandy shores-all thrive under the majesty of the sun. Weiss offers all of this as a show of gratitude, a tribute to the awe of each new day.
